TUE PROHIBITION BILL AND ITS
MEANING.

Although the INTELLIGENcER, on the
23rd of December last, published the
Bill providing for vote Of the people OF
Anderson County on the subject of
license or no license, many of our readers
have requested US to republish, and
explain its provisions to meet the mis-.
conception of its meaning, which pre-
walls in some parts of the county. We,
therefore, publish the Act exactly as
printed in the published Acts. and under
each section note our idea of its pur.
pose aud meaning. The Act provides:
SECTION / Be 1t enacted by the Senate
and House of Representatives of the
State of South Carolina. now met and
sitting in General Assembly, and by the
authority of the same: That it be sub
mitted to vote of the qualified electors
of the Counties of Anderson and Laurens
to pass upon the question of license for
the sale of spirituous liquors within the
limits of said County, or no license
therefor, at special election to be held
on the third Tuesday in August, A. D.
1887, between the hours of eight O'Clock
q. M, and four o'clock p. M: Provided,
That no election shall be held except
upon petition signed by majority of
the overs of real estate in either County
in which the election is to be held.
That for the purpose of holding said
election, the Commissioners of Elections
for such Counties be authorized and
required to appoint Commissioner Of
Registration in each township, who shall
serve without compensation, and likewise
appoint three days in which such Com.
missioners of Registration shall register
all male citizens residing in their respec.
tive precincts over the age of twenty. one
years, and give to them certificates of reg.
istration, which shall be delivered to the
Managers of Election when such voter
deposits his ballot. The Commissioners
of Election for said Counties shall give
fifteen days notice by publication in one
or more County papers of the name of
such Commissioners of Registration, the
days upon which and the places at which
such registration shall be had. The
books of the registration shall be open
for inspection BY the public, and shall be
on the day preceding the election, turned
over to the Managers of Election. A
separate book shall be kept for each poll /;
and no person shall be allowed to register
OF vote in such election who has been
convicted of any crime which disquali6es
under the Constitution, and who is not q
citizen of the State and resident of the
County for ak months preceding the
election. The County Commissioners
shall furnish the necessary blanks and
books required herein.
This section provides for special reg.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1887-04-14


in the certificate, shall be guilty of q
misdemeanor, and, upon conviction
thereof, his name shall be stricken from
the roll of physicians, and be shall be
stricken from the roll of physicians, and
he shall not again be allowed to practice
medicine in such Counties, and shall be
liable to fine and imprisonment in the
discretion of the Court.
The words "and he shall be stricken
from the roll of physicians' is surplusage
and repetition, put into the Bill by the
enrolling department. 1t is not in the
original, and should not be in the
enrolled Act. This section will not
affect the physician who obeys the law,
but it will stop the Doctor who wishes
to set the law at defiance, or the Doctor
who makes practice of prescribing con.
veniently to enable fellow to get a
drink. This section will only affect such
physicians as may attempt to violate the
law, and will not interfere at all with the
regular practice of the physicians of these
Counties. There is no more high.toned
and honorable class in any community
than its physicians, and there are very
few of them who would violate the Law.
But there may, perhaps, be some black
sheep in every fock, and the law has to
be made TO fit those if they exist, hence
this section.
Sec. IS. That oil Acts or parts of Acts
inconsistent with the provisions of this
Act be repealed, in so far as they may
interfere with the operations of this Act,
80 far as they may affect the Counties of
Anderson and Laurens.
Taking this Act throughout it may, at
first appearance, seem extreme; but on

ton at Indianapolis.

CHICAGO, Dec. 19-Samuel Dickie, chair
man of che National Prohibition Committee,

bition Convention at indianapolis, June 6,

Vice President and transact other business.
The call says that all who recognize the
curse of liquor drinking and the necessity OF
reform, and who are convinced that this de-
sirable reform needs for its consummation

clearly committed thereto as matter of
principle not as matter of expediency, who
favor general progressive system of popu-
lar education, who would amend the election
laws to secure greater purity of the ballot,
who stand for free ballot and fair count
for both the white man of the North, and
the black man of the South, who favor pro-
lection of American labor and the laborer,
who would foster agricultural interests, who
believe that the ballot in the hand d,, Of women
the the liquor trade; in short, all
ali citizens, however they may differ upon
other questions, who are agreed upon tne
wisdom and necessity of separate political
action to secure the overthrow OF the. rum
power, are requested to unite under this call
by sending representatives to the National
Convention at Indianapolis.
The basis OF Misrepresentation provides that
each State shall send twice a many delegates
as it. has representatives in the National
House and Senate 1t is urged that fair
nroportion of ladies be sent as delegates and
Il is advised that additional delegates, known
as provisional delegates be selected in each
State and Territory, and in the District of
Columbia on the basis of one delegate for
each thousand of Prohibition votes, or q
majority fraction thereof, cast at the last
general election, the convention to admit
these in case the membership is not suffi-
GENTLY numerous without them.

More Light on the Movements OF
Saco's Young Thief.

SACo, Dec. 19-The Saco defaulter and
his return to this continent from Europe are
the topics of the day in Saco and Biddeford.
Even the bank officials have ceased to deny
the rumors, and one of them went so far
Saturday night as to admit to friend that
the report of the young defaulter's commu-
nication with the bank, his voyage from
Liverpool to Halifax, and his brothers visit
to the Provinces to meet him were all true.
A reporter, who called at the bank this
morning, found Treasurer Kelly as reticent
as ever about the matter, but indignant be-
cause certain parties had charged him with
telling contradictory stories. He explained
that he had treated all the reporters alike
since the matter came up, and had revealed
nothing to any of them. Il told them all as
opinion that McNeally was not in Canada or
in Prince Edward Island at that time, and
that was fact The few questions that
did answer were replied to in such way
that while they might seem misleading they
were entirely true. defy anybody to prove
that have told contradictory stories TO any
one about this matter"

EAsToN, Pa, Dec. 19.-The snow storm Of
Saturday night caused the greatest blockade
in the railroads since 1872 By six O'Clock the
Lehigh Valley Road was blocked with trains
from Easton to Reddington. All the labor
ers between here and Mauch Chunk were
working from midnight Saturday to late
Sunday night shovelling. The snow is two
feet deep on level and from three to five
feet in drifts. Ten coal trains were blocked
on the Susquehanna Road between here and

FISHERIES AND sPEcuLATIoE.
Contradictory Reports Of the Pro-
gress OF the Negotiators.
Mr.. DlngIey Inclined to a Hopeful
View OF the Situation.
sir Charles .Tupper Coming Sack TO
Advocate Commercial Union.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ia prominent New
England Congressman, after an interview
with Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain. is quoted as
saying that he thought there was no chance
of a settlement Of the fisheries difficulties at
present. He said:
''There is law on the statute books which
enables the President Of the United States to
completely boycott Canada, and If the stub
pornness or stupidity Of Sir Charles Tupper
makes it necessary to enforce that law.
Canada will probably have the more to be
sorry for"
Hon. William McDougall, for 30 years
member of the Canadian Parliament, Is at
present in Washington. He is familiar with
Canada and her needs, and is an earnest adj
vocate Of commercial reciprocity, which he
says is favored by iour-ffths Of his country
men. Mr.. McDougall, being asked the pros
pect Of a satisfactory settlement OF the nsh-
cries trouble, said that he did not think that
the United States would concur in the Cana
dian construction OF the treaty Oh 1915
Mr.. Dingley More hopeful,
Congressman Dingley thinks we are some
what sure to see the fishery commissioners
do real bit Of negotiation when once they
come together again after the Christmas re-
cess. "This is exactly the situation" said
he "The Canadians came down here hoping
to secure treaty which should deal away
commercial reciprocity. But they were met
firmly They were met on just the same
plan which | told Minister Foster would be
presented. Mr.. Bayard and his men stood
out on one point. They were ready to ac-
cede to maritime reciprocity, that Is, give the
privilege Of entering port 10 BUY Dalt, ice,
ETC., in American ports In return for the
same right in Canadian ports. To be sure,
Canada has this privilege now and we do
not. But there the line was drawn and our
men stuck to It with great frmness"
''Do you think the Canadians will back
DOWN." - o.,
Charles Upper sees that our men are so firm
that he can have no hope Of shaking them.
What imagine he will come back with is
counter-proposition, so slightly different
from the one Of sole maritime reciprocity
that it will be accepted, but still not enough
to save them from saying that they backed
down. But the Americans will never enter
tain proposition of trade reciprocity until
maritime reciprocity, fair and square, Is ac-
cepted."
WINNIPEG, Dec 19.-Sir Charles Tupper,
the Canadian fisheries commissioner, left
here for Ottawa last night. A gentleman
who is we'll acquainted with Sir Charles says
that after a conversation with him he is
thoroughly convinced that on the reassem-
bling of the commission commercial union
between Canada and the United States will
be urged as a settlement Of the whole ques-
tion.
Thompson Thinks So, Too.
OTTAWA, Ont, Dec. 19-Minister of JUS
tice Thompson said today that he agreed
with Sir Charles Tupper's statement that
there is good reason to hope Tor an arrange,

tries.
